I made a boot disk from the bt2final.iso in Nero on the lowest speed (which was 14x). I started to boot in onto another pc with no boot options, and it was doing a bunch of stuff until it started asking me for a Terminal type. Anyone have any idea what that is and what I should enter?

Ok, this is exactly what I'm doing:

1) I Download BackTrack 2 Final in Internet Explorer

2) Using HashCalc, I verify that the MD5 Value is 990940d975f13d8418b0daa175560ae0

3) In Nero 7 Ultra from the StartSmart menu I go to Backup>Burn Image to Disc, then a window open asking what type and I click 'Image, Project, Copy'.

4) After clicking 'Disc Image or Saved Project' from the 'Image, Project, Copy' menu, I select bt2final.iso and insert a blank CD-R disc into my drive.

5) I set the writing speed to the lowest it can go (16x), 'Write Method' is set to 'Track-at-once', 'Determine Maximum Speed' and 'Simulation' are left unchecked while 'Write' is still checked. Number of copies is set to 1, and 'Verify data on disc after burning' is checked.

6) I hit 'Burn' and it burns the disc then checks it.

7) I insert the disc into my other pc that is set up to check the drive for a boot disc.

8) I don't enter any boot parameters and just hit enter.

9) It's doing a lot of stuff...

10) It asks me for some type of something... and I enter vt200 because that's what my dad said to try ???

11) I enter 'root' for the login and 'toor' for the password.

12) I get the message 'Login Incorrect' so I shoot myself in the face...

That's as detailed as I can go right now. Any one know why this isn't working for me?

I'm surprised it asked for a terminal type. I have a very old laptop (circa 1999) that behaves pretty well and I can log on correctly.

I really don't think the problem you're seeing is related to a bad disk image. If that were the case, you'd probably see crashes or it wouldn't boot at all. Anyway, you confirmed with the MD5 hash that it was correct.
